Summary: A portrait of Mike Butler: Irish-American tannery worker, avid gambler, and, in the eyes of three young boys growing up in suburban Massachusetts in the 1950s, the greatest babysitter ever.
Though my childhood was in the 1970s rather than the 1950s, I can recall friends of my parents who were sort of like Mike Butler: adults who were flawed but nonetheless beloved, and in their own way good role models of a sort.
